The State of California is basically sitting by and watching the destruction of Democracy. Elected officials who are supposed to uphold the majority rule, have let the majority down. A person with a vested interest has been given the 'deciding vote' which naturally went the way of the agenda at hand.
I'm talking about the much-publicized Prop. 8 which states that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, the fact is that the majority of California voters, voted in favor of this proposition TWICE yet one judge decided to throw it out. The judge is publically gay which means it was acted upon by a prejudiced party with a vested interest in the outcome.
There are a lot of other things about our government and world that I'm not happy about but when the majority votes one way, the minority should not be able to throw it out because they disagree with the outcome. I mean, why vote? Isn't this kind of a dictatorial act?
Face it, not one group is ever entirely happy once the votes are counted. You rejoice when your viewpoint is honored. You are sad and vow to work harder when your idea/proposition is shot down. California was given the vote on Prop. 8 twice and the same conclusion came about twice.
There is rejoicing among some factions over the judge's decision. Even though they 'won', they, like the rest of us, lost today. Our government clearly showed that voting was for 'fun' and the majority doesn't necessarily win. Democracy started the death march today and everyone lost.
